    Kmag has definitely been underperforming but I really think Haas need a stable pair for a couple of years at least to help develop the car.

      I totally agree. I honestly don’t think they’re all that interested in being an upper-midfield team right now.

      They seem very risk adverse. I think their priorities are don’t crash/finish every race and to occasionally score enough points to finish 7th or 8th in the constructor’s. And right now their lineup is essentially delivering that.

        I think they purely exist because Geene Haas likes to see his company’s logo driven around the circuits. He has zero ambition to achieve anything in F1. If there’s one team that’s blocking the spot of a better, more committed entry, it’s Haas.

          Pretty sure he’s freely admitted the team is only there as a marketing tool for his cnc machines. So long as they keep themselves roughly break even or the cost is only a couple million a year then that’s great for him. Gene is rich as fuck but he’s not a billionaire, he can afford to market in a non-standard way like this but he can’t be like Red Bull and market by making the best damn team on the grid to sell a drink…
